Dominik Szoboszlai, a transfer target of Newcastle United, is reportedly getting closer to a deal with Liverpool.
According to a rumor, Newcastle United has “cleared the way” for Liverpool to recruit Dominik Szoboszlai.
The £60 million release clause in Szoboszlai’s RB Leipzig contract is about to expire.
Newcastle, who are about to finalize a deal of at least £55 million for AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali, are interested in the 22-year-old.
The Athletic claims that United has since changed its mind about making a move for the Hungary captain.
Speaking last month, United’s head coach said: “It’s a difficult one, because we go into a lot of competitions next year, so we need the depth.
“This year, we’ve been light in certain areas of the pitch.
“We’ve carried on in the second half of the season with four midfielders. so you’re one injury away from a very difficult situation, so we need a little bit more depth, certainly with three games in a week next year.”
Liverpool, looking to strengthen after a disappointing fifth-placed Premier League finish last season, are said to be “confident” that they can do a deal for Szoboszlai.
Eddie Howe – who reluctantly let Jonjo Shelvey join Nottingham Forest in January – wants more “depth” in midfield next season
